This subspecies differs from the other subspecies in the following ways: pronotum slightly less flattened laterally; centre of pronotum contrastingly coloured to the rest of the pronotum; slightly broader and better defined anterior border of the pronotum and the more uniform sized punctation of the elytra. It shares with some specimens of the eastern Australian
